As most of you are aware, I love finding snakes, and they have been the focus of almost all of my recent posts. So for this post I decided I'd choose some different subjects for those of you who are sick of seeing pictures of snakes or those of you who are ophidiophobic (fear snakes). …
Living in Thailand I thought I'd learnt to expect the unexpected but a couple of days ago I had an unexpected but welcome suprise travelling home at night. We had run out of milk so jumped in the car and headed for the nearest 7-11 (a 5 min drive from our house). Whenever I drive …
Carly and I recently spent a few weeks in the UK and upon our return we were too busy to go out and about looking for wildlife. When we finally had a free saturday we woke up to the sound of the wind howling past our windows. All day the weather was terrible and the …

After seeing seven snakes on the last visit to our herping spot we were pretty sure we wouldn't see as much wildlife on our latest visit, but once again our spot suprised us. Not long into our walk we almost stumbled upon this Malayan Banded Wolf Snake (Lycodon subcintus), literally. It was right on the …
The dry season seems to be coming to an end here and after a few days of heavy rain the parched fields and rice paddies have been transformed into vast interconnected ponds and the roads have become wildife hotspots when the sun goes down. Insects fly around the streetlights and frogs wait patiently on the …
We moved house again...... My partner and I are now living in a different part of Thailand and of course a new house and a new area means new wildlife to find. Our weekends have been busy so far since we moved which hasn't left much time for finding wildlife but luckily our new garden …
After a friend posted a picture of a cool caterpillar on my facebook page this week (Wild Thailand) I was inspired to showcase some of the cool caterpillars that I've found so far. So here are a few of the cool caterpillars I've found in Thailand to date. Lime Butterfly (Papilio Demoleus) Caterpillars They are truly bizarre, caterpillars which disguise themselves …
